SUBJECT: Request to waive architectural review fees for an
application for an apartment to be built on lot that
contains a residence, on the southeast corner of Pismo
and Toro Streets.
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Waive the $650 Architectural Review application fee.
DISCUSSION
Background
The applicants want to add a one-bedroom apartment to a site that
contains a one-bedroom dwelling. The Architectural Review
Commission (ARC) reviewed the project on February 16, 1993 , and on
March 15, 1993 , and granted final approval. Neighbors of the site
appealed the approval, citing concerns with the height and bulk of
the new building. The City Council approved the appeal, denying
the project, on May 4, 1993 . Councilmembers voting in favor of the
motion also indicated a concern about the potential for converting
the proposed multipurpose and storage rooms into an additional
bedroom.
On .May 11, 1993 , the applicants, their representative, three of the
appellants, a. City staff representative, and Councilmember Roalman
met at the site to discuss how to proceed from here. Appellants
and applicants were able to come to an agreement on a design that
would mitigate the neighbors' concerns. The applicant's
representative is now preparing plans for a resubmittal to the ARC.
At the May 11 City Council meeting, Councilmember Roalman requested
a waiver of fees for the resubmittal, given the applicants'
cooperation with the neighbors on this project.
OTHER DEPARTMENT COMMENTS
The requested fee waiver affects only architectural review
activities, administered by the Community Development Department.
Other departments have not been consulted.
FISCAL IMPACTS
The fee requested to be waived is $650. The . presumed "pre-
approval" by the neighbors should result in smooth, quick
processing of the new project, and will likely avoid further
appeals, which, although free to the appellant, are costly to the
City.

SUBJECT:
Water Reclamation Facility Hazardous Materials Building,
Specification No. 93-18.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By Motion, Approve Plans and Specifications for Water Reclamation
Facility Hazardous Materials Building, Specification No. 93-18, and
Authorize Soliciting of Bids and Contract Award by CAO if the Lowest
Responsible Bid is Within the Engineer's Estimate.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Reclamation Facility, in accordance with local fire codes, is
required to provide for proper storage of its hazardous materials. These
include lubricants, gasoline and pesticides necessary for plant
operation.
This project will provide the Facility with two storage areas. The
storage areas will be large enough to accommodate existing materials as
well as increases of materials stored, expected as a result of the
Facility expansion_
CONCURRENCES:
The. Planning Department has given this project a categorical exemption as
long as the building maintains the required twenty foot creek setback.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The engineer's estimate for the project is $25, 000. The CIP for 1992/93
(page E-7) includes funds for System Improvements. Adequate funds are
available in that account to support this project.
The City Council at the June 30th meeting determined that Utility CIP
projects go forward based on their independent funding.
